afternoon, in Yorks Wood.

A FAMILY event is taking place at a popular beauty spot this weekend.
The Oaks and Shires afternoon will be held beneath the trees of Alcott Wood Local Nature Reserve, in Chelmsley Wood.
Visitors can meet one of the horses which helps play a vital role in maintaining our woodlands.
There will also be a demonstration of traditional woodland crafts, such as willow weaving, birds of prey on display and marshmallow toasting.
Once again, the Green Man - a figure with close ties to English folklore - will be regaling visitors with stories and songs.
The free event takes place on Saturday (November 24), from 11am-3pm.
